Oral History

The Osgoode Society’s Oral History Programme is the world’s largest oral history programme dedicated to legal history.

Since 1979, the Society has conducted more than 600 interviews and deposited over 90,000 pages of transcripts in the Archives of Ontario. Interview subjects include lawyers, judges, politicians, and members of the police services. Interview documentation consists of transcripts.

Oral Histories are either held by the Archives of Ontario or by the Osgoode Society. Those held by the Osgoode Society are not yet available for circulation.
